Wouldn't think that was a day session 🤣🤣, few days after it was the boggiest peg on lake 🤣🤣

Main difference lads, GTHD is prestretched so great for casting but less abrasion resistance. Hydrotuff is the all out snag line so crazy good abrasion resistance, but still manages to cast ok and is still responsive. Gt80 somewhere between the two. All great lines.

Sexual. 👍 There's something about it that I love. Braving the elements while nice & toasty (hopefully) with a cuppa, can't beat it.

You have to celebrate those small wins Kev, it's good to still be winning

You can still get hydrotuff I don't think chuck Norris uses GT HD, but he does use use hydrotuff because it's the only line strong enough to pull doors off with his teeth.

Thank you

Hydro Tuff that's the name - I remembered, is it sad that I'm celebrating my brain working 🤣

I think I'm using the GTHD now - seems good like it so far, I was supposed to be renewing the GT one that Yonny recommends, can't remember it's blooming name but that was good also just couldn't find any in stock the second time. Is HD it's replacement? You'll know this obvs 🤣🤣🤣🙃

that Elmo is always right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I've not used it, it's meant to be good but I switched to 12lb Gt80+ which is 0.35mm line and essentially the same B/S as 15lb GT HD, it casts well, sinks well, highly abrasion resistant and low stretch which I believe is also GTHD main selling point.

Yes mate, I keep looking at the Gardner GTHD mainline.

My mate used Diawa Sensor for 20+ years but within the last few he's said it's changed and not good, I've used it and thought not good. As Elmo says anything Gardner seems to be a winner!

Few years ago, my rods on the Right side...me n a mate on local lake...

Oooh, how the other half live! 😜 In all seriousness, I look forward to seeing it. I bet you're like a kid waiting for Xmas! Love a frosty rod shot. 😍

Me too, but I'm a fan of prawns/shrimps, lobster, squid etc. for some bizarre reason. Love a piece of battered cod from the chippy, trout very occasionally & that's about it.

Taste and texture not a fan of fish at all other than from a nice chippy.

Is this fish from the RH stables ha ha ha

Is it the taste or the idea of eating them? A lot of people are put off by how they look & what they eat. They are kind of like the insects of the sea so I could understand that point of view. 🤣🤣

Around 6 million tonnes then? - Still quite an amount!

It's from household, production, processing and delivery. 60% is from household though. In the UK supermarkets at one point were refusing 'misshaped' vegetables, adding to the problem. Indeed, then we complain we are struggling to feed ourselves. Even fly fishing for trout has in many places become a 'catch and release'

Not a problem. I can help that painful lobster tail or crab claw by dipping it in soothing warm butter, with a hint of garlic. [I'm also the guy claiming the best meat comes from the animals with the biggest, brownest eyes]

Don't eat shellfish nothing to do with this just don't like em, not a single one of the little critters.

Crack on, I've been known to take one or two off topic in my time 😂

Thank you sir!

Sorry to go off topic a little Elmo. 😂

I read (but find it hard to imagine) that the UK throws away around 10 million tonnes of food waste per year!!
